Il Cortile is frequently celebrated as a hidden gem in downtown Montreal, particularly for its stunning, traditional outdoor courtyard that transports guests to an authentic Italian atmosphere. Many diners praise the restaurant for its delicious food, with highlights including the gnocchi, seafood pasta, and fresh ingredients, as well as the generous portions and complimentary gestures like dessert or drinks. While experiences with the service vary, many guests highlight the attentive, warm, and professional care provided by the staff, which often makes celebrations and special events feel memorable.

It was okay. The atmosphere is really nice, but the food was lacking & the service wasn't amazing. Definitely a little over hyped.

We had a group reservation for a birthday dinner in their courtyard & everything about the evening was amazing! Our waiter, I believe his name was Mansour, was very friendly & professional ! The drinks were great & the fixed menu was worth the price & offered a lot of different meals throughout the evening The terasse is beautiful & really is the highlight of the restaurant, definitely recommend eating outside while we still can! Thank you for a great evening!

Unique offering matched by very few in the city. The'courtyard' setting provides the euro vibe. A must for any summer or warm autumn date night. Classic Italian dishes prepared with personalized touch. All dishes fresh & savory. Grazie mille.
